From time to time on these here threads we've quibbled about the best QB of all time.

Well, you're lookin' at him. Just needs to put in a few more years cause:

He throws the slant better than anyone.

He throws the back shoulder better than anyone.

He throws the seams better than anyone.

He's the best deep ball thrower in the league - and this includes the three different versions he's the best at.

He's BY FAR the best third down playmaker in the game.

He's BY FAR the best red zone QB in the game (Never saw a guy make the correct throw every time in the red zone - not only player, but whether to throw the fade w/air, whether to throw it with enough juice that the DB can't turn his head.)

He's the best guy in the game when the pocket breaks down.

And, he's by far the best progression QB I've seen. Man, is that game moving SLOW for him.

He' don't turn it over

Intangibly fantastic. Christ, he can roll out and chuck it 50 without his pulse rate going up.

Teams like the Jets are wastin' their time, cause if you can't hang 30 on them, you're not beating them.

never saw anything like it.

SD:

30 ain't enough

The Chargers posted 38 and got smoked .

Never saw a better package of touch power and athleticism playing QB .

His placement on pasess is surgical short long deep and in between , the ball does not hit the ground , the bond between receivers and QB is Jedi magic.

Amen to that. I might be the minority here in terms of why I think Rodgers is so good, but I think beyond the accuracy, athleticism, progressions and whatnot, his most impressive skill is his inordinate lack of making bad decisions. It seems even the incomplete passes are the best decision to make given the circumstances. Zero panic, no wasted motion, and his decision making is damn near flawless. I've seen nothing like it by any other QB in the league. Everything he does is with purpose.

"All Beckett needs to do to cap off this mess is order some fried chicken and beer" – 5/10/12 before Beckett got chased in the 3rd at Fenway.

Not much to disagree with here. I think his athleticism gives him such an edge, and frankly I've never seen a guy walk up behind center with so much confidence. I swear to God Almighty that Rogers walks out of the huddle with 6 seconds left on the play clock and takes 8 seconds to walk up under center, not only does he not get the mathematically inevitable delay of game call but the ensuing play is usually flat out awesome.

Another 6-7 years of this and it is hard to imagine him not as a/the GOAT. However, Lead, the problem is the ever changing, always flip flopping, completely inconsistent criteria in naming the GOAT. Not directing any of that toward you but you know what I'm getting at. If he puts up 7 more years of this level of awesome and has 1 ring to show for it.....

Criminals in this town used to believe in things...honor, respect."I heard your dog is sick, so bought you this shovel"

Another telling sign is how Rodgers play has made the city of Green Bay, and basically the rest of the country forget about a guy who was built up as a legend in the media and has become irrelevant in almost the blink of an eye.

Mannings been in the GOAT argument with one. Marino is in it with none.

If he puts up 6 or 7 more years of this, he'll clearly be the GOAT to anyone who isn't a complete moron.

This guy is on another level right now. On par with 1984 Dan Marino, 2004 Peyton Manning, and 2007 Tom Brady.

Like those guys in those years, every pass is right on the money. Scary accuracy and proficiency. And teams know he's throwing too, the Pack doesn't have a running game that scares anyone.

Was watching Packers/Chargers with my son Sunday after watching the latest Browns train-wreck. Kid is really starting to get into football and can't even process the differences in what he is seeing from the Browns and Packers offenses.

He can process the difference I bet.
